Integrated circuits

An Integrated Circuit is a chip or a microchip on which thousands of transistors, capacitors, resistors are fabricated. It can be an Amplifier IC, a timer IC, a waveform generator IC, a memory IC or a Microcontroller IC. It can be an analog IC with a continuous variable output or a Digital IC operating at a few defined layers. The fundamental building blocks of Digital ICs are the logic gates.
